Deadbolt Won't work after picking

Postby LuLu34 » 23 Sep 2016 3:54

Hi
My friend lost his key to his apartment, but he said he remembered that he had a spare key in his apartment somewhere, So watched some videos and decides to try to pick the lock.

We were successful, however he counted find the spare key. After searching he got a call from the office that the key he thought he lost was left on his desk, so he said hey is there a way to lock back the door until he gets back home. So I thought well lets un pick it.

Well he door is locked and now the key will not go in. Its like something is blocking it, and I am sure nothing from the pick was broken off in it.

Any ideas??

Rule #2 of the Sport/Hobby ... - Never pick a lock that is in use .. Of Course I believe Rule #1 applies here also .. Never Pick a Lock that doesn't belong to you..
When I finally leave this world.. Will someone please tell my wife what I have REALLY spent on locks ...

Nice... :o

Do I get some kind of prize for figuring out by myself what to do to lock the poor thing again ? :-D I'm feeling an Einstein here... LOL

Oh. I was picking a cheap euro cylinder bought for the effect, the lock was not in use.

You get an Internet gold star from me, at least :). Also thumbs-up for realizing the need for practice locks.
